NFO jet syllabus odds

[Dhopeful]

What are the typical odds of a SNFO getting the jet pipeline? I wanted either the hornet or prowlers, but now that the prowlers are being replaced with growlers I guess that is good for me and others wanting jet pipeline. I know it mostly depends on the needs of the USN/USMC but I have read in my ASTB study guide that roughly 60% get the jet pipeline but I don't know how accurate that is.

Bro, there's no way to predict. The Growler transition only makes your chances worse numbers-wise (not better) if you're into getting into the jet community. Read up and use the search function - it is your friend.

Doesn't exactly answer your question, but a good read for someone interested in being an NFO.

Like Brett said, the Prowler has 3 NFOs and the Growler has 1. I'm not going to breakout the graphing calculator on this one, but I think that means less for you. FWIW the Marine Corps has plans to fly Prowlers for while longer and NFOs are "guaranteed" jets. Just throwing that out there.

I was very polite the first time and I will be again, please use the search function and browse through the forums.

Maybe it's just me but this sounds an awful like what % get jets??!

@ bunk... it is.

To the OP... your ASTB study guide is bullshitting you. Your odds of getting jets as an NFO are 42%.

Right!!!!!

My thoughts exactly.

I'm pretty sure that I read in the "What Percent Get Jets?" handbook that the percentage was 42.33...repeating of course.

Missed a reference, dude.

apparently it just decreased to the square root of 2pi times y, where y = the # of black dots on this picture

i know this because God himself told me so (trumps all other references)

Okay...enough of the BS banter...here's the gouge for getting jets in the NFO pipeline: It's 50 percent...

You either will or you won't.
